Sunday regular
Stop in at Stanley Street Station on a weekend morning for a delicious, filling brunch -- but stay for the fabulous service and leisurely atmosphere. Sure, you might get a better-priced brunch or more diverse menu elsewhere, but you can't go wrong for ambience and service here. The lattes are wonderfully scrumptious (the coffee's neither bitter nor weak) and the food is equally yummy.
The best part of this coffee bar / restaurant / drinks bar is that they'll let you linger on their leather couches for ages, soaking in the sunshine through floor-to-ceiling windows lining Crown Street. Just the perfect place for a slow start to your Sunday morning.
Lunch times are plenty busy, as are weekend evenings when the bar breaks out its $16 martinis. I haven't been over there at night yet, but the crowd spilling onto the street has to be a clue that something good is happening inside.
Disappointed, but willing to give it another try
My first experience at Stanley Street Station was underwhelming, despite its light-filled corner location and the friendly & competent table service I received. The disappointment was the food, which seemed to me to reflect a lack of attention to detail: the "roasted tomato" had been barely cooked on a grill; the toast wasn't really toasted; the sausage was cool and overcooked. It's too bad, as I want to like this place - I like the idea of a spacious, casual eatery in the neighborhood. Perhaps it was an off-day - it was Sunday, after all. I'll give it another go, and report back.
